Enjoying some Xi Hu Long Jing from Norbu, tonight from Yi Yong Cheol pot and Seigan Oribe Hagi. Delicate celadon pot, deep oribe hagi, and light yellow-green tea liquor, sweet, vegetal, summer grass, mown a day or two before, and just at the moment of changing from grass to hay.

It was hot enough this weekend to put the glass infuser cups in use in the fridge for chilled green tea, with an inexpensive sencha from my Chinatown tea shop. Cool and refreshing, if a bit more 'bite' than I really prefer.

When I got my bag of Kaboku Sencha recently, I found that I really had to up the leaf amount. I use 5g in my 150ml pot instead of my usual 3.5g, so same ratio as what you're trying. 75 degrees for a minute to 90 seconds yields a very smooth yet flavorful brew.
